DESCRIPTION
       ipx_interface  adds,  deletes,  or displays IPX interfaces depending on
       the option selected.

       An IPX interface is the item to which IPX sockets are  bound.   An  IPX
       interface  corresponds  to an IPX Network Number which corresponds to a
       physical device and frame type.	A sample IPX Interface would be:

       Network Number: 0x00ABCDEF

       Device: Eth0

       Frame Type: 802.2.

       There is a special IPX interface per  host  known  as  the  PRIMARY  or
       default interface.

       You  should  specify  node number only if you really know, what you are
       doing - on point-to-point devices, on loopback and on tap device if you
       are running Compatibility mode driver.

   OPTIONS
       add    This  option is used to create an IPX interface.	If the -p flag
	      is used, the interface is made PRIMARY.  The network number  can
	      be  optionally  assigned.	 If it is not assigned, it is set to 0
	      which indicates it should be detected from the  traffic  on  the
	      network.

       del    This option is used to delete an IPX interface.

       delall This option is used to delete all IPX interfaces.

       check  This  option is used to display the device, frame type, and net‐
	      work number of an IPX interface.

       help   This option displays information about the utility.

FILES
       /proc/net/ipx_interface /proc/net/ipx_route

BUGS
       This functionality really belongs in ifconfig(8).
